That was mentioned in the original post all the way at the top JDQ.

my bonneville is doing the exact same thing as Charge's. i was going down the freeway about 70 mph and car died started right back up. lost all lights and everything. took it to the shop and they replaced my fuel pump. it stalled on my way home from picking it up. they have now had it for 3 days and said there is nothing wrong with it and it hasn't stalled on them. i asked them why would a bad fuel pump restart my clock? Charge did you figure out what was wrong with your dads?

I have posted this same idea on several posts, but I hope you may find it helpful.... My 95 was stalling, dying, and other random problems. I added a ground to the engine.. ran a separate wire from the engine block to the engine, all problems went away, then several months later car just died, then I had to ground No. 86 black and white wire on the Junction block where the Fuel pump relay is installed. Good luck!

I found that this could be that one of the wires that are by the engine is getting to hot. I took my 95 se bonneville up to Minnesota over summer and that was the problem. It was the cable that hooked from the battery to the altenator. After i moved it to the top of the plastic peice of the 3.8 38oo 2 engine cover, she worked like a bueaty.

I've heard that its a problem for the bonnevilles. I read something about it on http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...reviewshowall/
It said Automatic transmission: 4T60E transmissions may drop out of drive while cruising; shift erratically; or have no second, third, or fourth gear because of a bad ground connection for the shift solenoids. (1992-94)
Automatic transmission: The 4T60E automatic transmission can suddenly go into neutral at highway speeds due to a problem with internal shift valves. (1995-97)
